275lbs! Am I too big to have a baby??

Question

Hey guys! So this is my husband and I. Obviously we are overweight. I’m weighing in right now at 275lbs and we are currently trying to have a baby! I do try to do something active if not every day then 4-5 times a week. I eat fruits and vegetables as well. Am I too over weight to have a baby though? We are on our second month of trying. Thank you for all your thought!

Answer

Lots of people have babies and weigh more than you. I think it's more about complications that can arise from being overweight for you and the baby than the conception itself. I'm 215 and 5'7 and my dr wants me to be at 190 or less. I'm not there yet but hopefully next year

Answer

I’m overweight (didn’t used to be but never managed to lose the weight after my first child) and I got pregnant after 3 cycles trying- in fact it took me longer to conceive my son when I was a healthy weight. Not saying it’ll be the same for you but that weight doesn’t completely determine your fertility. Good luck!

Answer

We had been trying but trying meaning I wasn’t using any birth control but we were just having fun for a 14 months before I got my bfp. I had been working out and went from 220 to 195 and bam got my bfp. I think everyone’s different hormones wise is how it would most likely effect you

Answer

It would probably be easier on you if you were a little lighter, but you can definitely get pregnant! Also you don't look like you weigh nearly 275. Cute as can be!!

Answer

It's obviously important that you continue to do your best to be as healthy as possible, but I don't think that your weight will be too much of a problem! Just keep trying to live a healthy lifestyle, and when there's a baby on board he/she will thrive.

Answer

being overweight only effects fertility for some ppl, I think Im one of them😣 then ofcourse theres risks with the pregnancy too... with that said, I think you look great and should start trying as soon as you want! double check with dr first, and start eating a little better just incase
